How much does this cost?

There is no charge to set up your family's account, monitor balances

or review purchase history. However, when transferring funds to accounts, Heartland Payment Systems

charges a $2.50 fee for each transaction for each student's account involved. If you want to add funds to the accounts of two children, the fee will total $5.

How much of these fees does Louisa County Public Schools collect?

There is no financial benefit to our school system or our individual schools. All of the fees collected go to Heartland Payment Services, the vendor who provides the service and handles all financial transactions through the site.

What if I don't want to pay online?

You are not required to pay online. Cash and checks will continue to be accepted at your child's cafeteria, as they always have been. Parents can use the system to monitor balances or purchases without incurring fees.

Such programs may include any combination of physical education classes, extracurricular activities, and other programs and physical activities.

Students are given opportunities for physical activity during the school day through physical education (PE) classes, daily recess periods for elementary school students, and the integration of physical activity into the academic curriculum where appropriate.
